Does that painting look familiar? It's no surprise. The Orsay Museum is home to an incredibly famous and highly recognizable collection of masterpieces. The Parisians have another good reason to favor the Orsay Museum. The Orsay is first and foremost a French museum, and many of its most famous works are by French and Paris-based artists, or depicting scenes throughout France. Even though Van Gogh was certainly Dutch, we'll see his famous Starry Night over the Rhone: a representation of the French city of Arles. The Orsay is also the proud home of Renoir's Impressionist masterpiece Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette, a depiction of a typical Sunday afternoon in the Parisian district of Montmarte.
